Ask Elon Musk how does online banking work then? And how are we on the verge of quantum computing? And also, what does Trump's uncle have to do with anything? These guys are pathetically stupid.

The ugly threats and insults coming from that man…he is a disgusting male chauvinist pig. I want every Democrat to refuse, obstruct, block, and if necessary, blockade and occupy. Fight back! #GoodTrouble
